Rich I think you tempted the Cosmic Forces by choosing the screen name Tugly; too close to Mugly.

And hey, you got the wife and rig home safely, your Man Card is still valid. Earned some bonus points redeemable for cold ones where-ever FTE is spoken.

I've considered ELC but there are too many ways to lose it, such as this. Hard parts like a set of bellowed uppies I can see hitting with the Buckzooka to get ceramic coating, since that will help them last essentially forever. But rubber and liquids are consumables over the long term so unless they give immediate superior performance there's no reason to spend more. My two cents.

 

We've had different paths to our woes. He's exceeded the limits of truck vs. muck, while I've exceeded the limits of buck vs. luck.

"Tugly" was the name of a rather unattractive E350 I once had for pulling the boat, and "Stinky" was already used here... so Tugly was it because nobody used it before me (oddly enough).

 

That thought didn't elude me.
